Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location -Models with Coil Elements
The oven is vented through the right rear coil
element. When the oven is on, warm air is released
through the vent(s). This venting is necessary for
proper air circulation in the oven and good baking
results. DO NOT block the vent(s). Doing so may
cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the
appliance.

Removing and Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of
rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on
the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the
rack back into place.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use
oven mitts when the oven is hot.

Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around
the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware
do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven
cavity. The hot air must circulate around the pans and cookware in
the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
